My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale
The sweet memories of the past made it impossible for Gu Nanqiu to tolerate any distance between herself and Yue Yiyue.
She leaned in and affectionately rubbed her cheek against Yue Yiyue's hand, devoutly kissing her ring finger.
A mark she had personally branded on Yue Yiyue had once been there, but the Main God had washed it away.
This is fine, too.
Forgetting their past meant that those unpleasant memories were also sealed away by the Main God's interference.
A new beginning.
Everything is a new beginning.
The person who taught the monster about love, patience, and life will feed and care for the monster for a lifetime—this was their agreement.
Gu Nanqiu adjusted her chair, comfortably nestled into Yue Yiyue's embrace, counting her steady heartbeats, and quietly closed her eyes.
The location of the new apartment was right behind C University.
Built in 2020, it was a relatively new development. The greenery downstairs was lush, with many flowers that Yue Yiyue couldn't name blooming brightly.
Yue Yiyue followed behind Gu Nanqiu, watching her communicate with the property management staff and figure out the method for registering access.
"Yiyue, come over here! Why are you still standing there?" Gu Nanqiu pulled Yue Yiyue in front of the phone, aiming the camera at Yue Yiyue's face. "Look at the lens!"
The property management staff looked at Yue Yiyue with envy. Living with such a beautiful woman.
What luck.
Under the other party's covetous gaze, Yue Yiyue stood in front of Gu Nanqiu's phone, looking endearingly silly as she shook her head and blinked, possessing a natural, adorable simplicity.
"Thank you. If anything comes up later, we'll contact you, right?" Seeing the face that wasn't quite natural in front of the camera, Gu Nanqiu chuckled softly. While Yue Yiyue turned her head to add the property management's WeChat, Gu Nanqiu quickly screenshotted the cute photo, saving it to her collection.
"Nanqiu, let's go." Yue Yiyue confirmed they had everything. She dragged her suitcase and took the bag from Gu Nanqiu's arms to lessen her burden. She counted on her fingers, seriously listing the evening's plans: "Next, let's go eat in Student Street, then go to the supermarket to buy things."
"Tomorrow, let's go to the nearby flower market to have a look."
"Nanqiu, should we keep fish at home?"
Yue Yiyue muttered on, turning around to take Gu Nanqiu's hand. "I want to find a part-time job later and earn money…"
"To buy you clothes."
"I've seen so many clothes recently that would suit you."
The sunlight scattered onto Yue Yiyue, making her eyes squint slightly.
Her steps were remarkably light.
University, the university she had always dreamed of…
She never expected to enter university this way.
The person in the text messages had sent her here to experience life.
Even if this turned out to be some kind of high-level scam to take her life, she would accept it.
The snacks near the school were delicious and varied. Yue Yiyue bought many kinds. She carefully divided the things in her hands into two portions and handed them to Gu Nanqiu.
"Nanqiu, these all taste good."
Seeing Yue Yiyue's lips swollen red from the spice, Gu Nanqiu smiled and handed over the milk beside her. "Quick, take a sip. Look at your mouth; it's so red from the spice."
Yue Yiyue fanned her mouth, sucking in cool air. "No, it's not spicy. It's fine."
But Gu Nanqiu still made her drink the milk. "Don't be stubborn. Your stomach isn't good. You don't want a stomach ache tonight."
Seeing Gu Nanqiu's practiced manner, the figure before her overlapped with a person she frequently saw during a certain period in the past.
Only the roles were reversed.
Yue Yiyue held the milk in her mouth, blinking. For a split second, she vaguely remembered something.
Had they met before?
"Yiyue, does it still feel spicy?"
Did this body also have the same stomach issues she did in the past?
"Yiyue? Don't you like this milk?" Gu Nanqiu looked puzzledly at the person staring blankly in front of her.
But Yue Yiyue used to pour milk for her exactly like this!
"Nothing." Yue Yiyue pulled herself out of her memory and quickly swallowed the milk. "It's nothing. Just for that instant, I felt like we had known each other for a long time."
"I used to treat my sister the same way, only…"
Only after saying this did Yue Yiyue realize her slip of the tongue. The Yue Yiyue of this world didn't have a sister.
"Oh, I see." Gu Nanqiu nodded in sudden understanding. "Yiyue, thank you. This is the first time you've talked to me about your family."
The first time…
Yue Yiyue quickly covered up: "Just cousins, that's why we don't see each other often."
"And you still remember her. Your sister is truly lucky." Gu Nanqiu hinted pointedly, then pointed to another milk tea shop. "Yiyue, let's buy a cup to take back. Shall we watch a movie together tonight?"
Back home, Gu Nanqiu pulled her onto the sofa. Drinking milk tea and eating a juicy fruit platter, Yue Yiyue realized something was amiss when she saw the people entwining on the screen.
First, how did this apartment get a projector so quickly?
Second, why was everything in this apartment so complete?
Third, why were the two of them watching a lesbian romance film, and a restricted one at that?
The overly stimulating scenes made Yue Yiyue's mind nearly crash.
But Gu Nanqiu watched intently beside her, as if she were studying some professional subject.
For better viewing, most of the lights were turned off, leaving only a faint, yellow floor lamp.
Gu Nanqiu snuggled into Yue Yiyue's embrace, stroking her hand. Her beautiful face was made more three-dimensional by the light from the movie screen, like a feminine statue intricately carved by Nuwa herself.
Vibrant yet radiating a strange sense of mystery, she was arguably a perfect human being, with no flaws to be found.
Yue Yiyue was always attracted to this face.
Sometimes, just seeing this face made her forget what she was thinking.
Her mind was filled with the dense thought: She is so beautiful.
Gu Nanqiu was facing away from her, and only in this situation did Yue Yiyue dare to look boldly and meticulously at every inch of Gu Nanqiu's body.
She thought, It's a good thing Gu Nanqiu is rather slow-witted and can't detect the little secret she was hiding.
After all, even now, she had only briefly looked away when the camera zoomed in on a particularly hot scene.
On one hand, she despised herself for being the same as those vulgar people who coveted Gu Nanqiu's appearance and only wanted to possess her.
On the other hand, the fact that Gu Nanqiu trusted her enough to pull her back to some semblance of reason.
The movie reached its climax. On the screen, the protagonists embraced, declared their love, and kissed deeply to sentimental music.
In reality, Gu Nanqiu looked up, her moist eyes carrying an indescribable emotion. "Yiyue, do you think kissing would feel very comfortable?"
As she said this, Gu Nanqiu's gaze fell on Yue Yiyue's lips. "Shall we try it?"
"Kissing between friends is normal, right?" As Gu Nanqiu turned around, the ends of her hair brushed Yue Yiyue's arm, causing a strange tingling sensation.
Gu Nanqiu hooked her arms around Yue Yiyue's neck and leaned forward. In that instant, their breaths mingled, close enough to touch.
"Yiyue, do you want to try?" She'd be a fool to wait for the relationship with Yue Yiyue to progress further. A flicker of cunning flashed in Gu Nanqiu's eyes, like a shrewd little fox who had finally found the perfect excuse.
If she could accept hugs, then Yiyue could definitely accept her kisses.
And this was all Yue Yiyue's fault.
If Yue Yiyue's gaze hadn't been focused on her the whole time, she wouldn't have been able to resist making this request.
Yue Yiyue looked at the person before her. In her eyes was curiosity about kissing, a desire to explore the unknown.
Those beautiful, almond-shaped eyes gazed deeply at Yue Yiyue. Under the warm, dim light, Yue Yiyue felt as if her soul had been hooked away.
In that strong scent of sweet osmanthus that nearly drowned her, she nodded on an impulse she couldn't explain.
The next moment, Gu Nanqiu clung to Yue Yiyue stickily.
The two exchanged an entwining kiss, devoid of excessive affection, just like the people in the movie.
At least, that's what Yue Yiyue thought.
She closed her eyes, letting Gu Nanqiu run wild in her mouth, twining with her nimble tongue.
She didn't dare to open her eyes; if she did, the indescribable emotion would be noticed.
Lifelong friends.
She had to be Gu Nanqiu's lifelong good friend.
When the kiss ended, Gu Nanqiu lay in Yue Yiyue's arms, satisfied. She happily kissed Yue Yiyue's cheek, looking at her lips, which were rosy from the kiss. "It was happier than the movie."
Yue Yiyue was slowly recovering from the kiss that had blanked her mind and nearly suffocated her. She slumped weakly on the sofa. "Pr… probably."
She stammered as she spoke.
"Your heart is beating so fast." Gu Nanqiu chuckled softly. "Kissing between friends is normal. Why are you acting like this?"
"It's almost like you really love me."
"When Wang Xiaoyan and Zhang Yang kissed before, you even boasted that you would kiss better than them." Her voice, rising at the end, carried a teasing tone.
Yue Yiyue couldn't find this memory in her mind at all.
But she could only nod guiltily. "It's just, it's the first time. I'm not used to it."
"Yes, I'm not used to it. This is normal. It's just because of the movie…"
Gu Nanqiu leaned in again, her clearly defined knuckles slowly tracing Yue Yiyue's somewhat thin lips.
Yue Yiyue once said that in the human world, there was a saying that people with thin lips were often heartless.
Gu Nanqiu didn't care about others, nor did she want to.
Yue Yiyue was warm, burning hot.
Her soul, her blood, her flesh—everything about her made Gu Nanqiu excited.
The space was filled with more whispering.
Want to eat her, want to eat her, merge into one, merge into one.
Love, love, love
Like, love, like, love. Still want, still want, still want
The tentacles flying in the corner rubbed against Yue Yiyue's shadow, doing so obsessively.
Gu Nanqiu said with a hint of regret: "I looked for this movie seriously for a long time… I thought you would like it."
But it didn't matter. As long as Yue Yiyue liked this lair.
They would be very happy here.
Nothing would ever disturb them.
Home is the safest place.
No matter what, home is the safest place.
Seemingly affected by something, the space outside the room distorted for an instant.
It quickly returned to normal.
The janitor sweeping downstairs watched a man walking stiffly on the road, muttering incessantly: "Run, run! He's coming! He's coming to cleanse the sins…"
"Run! Everyone run! He will kill everyone, run!"
The janitor cursed and swung his broom. "Crazy person, what's wrong with you? Get lost!"
"How did you sneak in here—"
Before he could finish, he saw the man's hand holding a bright red, regularly beating object.
He looked down confusedly at his own empty chest.
